        India has completed 75 years of its independence.
            The nation is also celebrating this occasion

         with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. We achieved our
        independence with lot many sacrifices.  Countless
       fighters went to gallows fighting for independence.
       Today we are all indebted to the revolutionaries and
         freedom fighters who sacrificed their everything
         to free the country from the chains of slavery. In
        India's quest for freedom, the British took several

          measures to frighten, disappoint and frustrate
         the country. But it never ceased the momentum
        of the freedom struggle which kept going on. Our
       freedom fighters had full faith in their potential and
         they proved that even in the midst of difficulties,
            the country can move forward and achieve
       independence. The date of September 22nd is also
        relevant in this context because it was on this date
          in 1921 that the Father of the Nation, Mahatma

           Gandhi, began wearing dhoti as a loincloth in
             Madurai by foregoing his western clothes.
